Heres an amazing war time story - 20 unused crated up Spitfires were buried in Burma near the end of the second world war.

UK & Burmese authorities are hoping to work together to recover them

I was bitterly disappointed to hear that the Time Team production company have started tinkering with the successful format, and Mick Aston quit because of it.
